If you're on a tighter budget and primarily focused on competitive gaming, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X with its high refresh rate and responsive performance could be ideal. It works well for digital photo editing too. However, if you prioritize image quality, especially for HDR gaming, media consumption, and HDR video editing, the Gigabyte FO32U2P with its superior contrast and color performance is the better option, albeit at a higher cost. The FO32U2P also has a higher resolution for sharper images, but keep in mind that for competitive gaming, the extra detail may not offer a significant advantage and could even affect performance due to the higher resolution.
